PropDue is not a replacement for a lawyer — it's how you decide which properties are worth spending €1,500–4,000 on a lawyer for.
PropDue helps foreign buyers understand what they're really buying before they commit. A free Property Cost Calculator shows you the true purchase cost and annual running costs — personalised to your nationality and region. For buyers who are serious about a specific property, the Legal Review (€79) pulls the title deed from the Spanish Land Registry and explains every finding in plain English.
A lawyer handles the legal transaction — contracts, title deed, registration. The Legal Review is the intelligence you bring to that conversation. It tells you whether the property is legally clean before you commit your deposit — and gives you the specific questions to raise with your lawyer. Our Partner Network connects you with vetted bilingual lawyers at pre-negotiated rates.
We compare the listing price to what similar properties in the area are actually going for — based on recent sales data, current listings, and official valuation data. It's not a formal valuation (you'd need a surveyor for that), but it's a reality check. If a property is listed at €3,100/m² in an area where the average is €2,400/m², we'll tell you — and give you the data to use in a negotiation.
The Property Cost Calculator (free) shows you the true total cost of buying — transfer tax, notary and registry fees, annual running costs, and your non-resident income tax — personalised to your nationality and autonomous community. The Legal Review (€79) is a different product entirely: we pull the legal title from the Land Registry, check ownership and encumbrances, and explain what we find in plain English. Use the calculator first to understand costs; order the Legal Review when you're serious about a specific property.
We believe in being honest about this. The Property Cost Calculator uses published tax rates and standard fee estimates — it is not a formal valuation. The Legal Review pulls publicly registered title data; it does not verify community debts (only the community president can provide that) and it does not replace contract review by a lawyer. Both products are explicit about what they cover and what they don't.
No. We don't sell properties and we don't work with agents. We have no financial interest in whether you buy a particular property — our only incentive is giving you an accurate picture, so you trust us enough to come back next time.
Yes. When you check a property, you tell us your nationality. Your tax calculations, purchase cost estimates, and non-resident income tax are all personalised to your situation. We currently support British, German, Dutch, French, Scandinavian, and American buyers, with more nationalities being added regularly.
Most Legal Reviews are delivered within 24–48 hours. PropDue requests the nota simple from the Spanish Land Registry on your behalf, our AI interprets it in plain English, and a human reviews every report before delivery. You'll get an email when it's ready, with a PDF you can share with your lawyer.
